Tutorials: Ten-Step Process

Introduction and Pre-Tutorial Phase00:00:00

The AVID tutorial process is a scholarly environment designed to help students overcome academic confusion. The pre-tutorial phase involves identifying a specific problem or concept from class, completing a Tutorial Request Form (TRF) with pre-work, and preparing necessary materials like binders and textbooks.

During the Tutorial: Presentation and Dialogue00:01:43

Students present their inquiry through a 60-second speech, followed by an academic conversation characterized by Socratic questioning and collaborative dialogue. Tutors and group members support the presenter, helping them articulate their understanding and connect their point of confusion to a solution.

Synthesis and Post-Tutorial Reflection00:05:07

The presenter concludes with a 60-second synthesis to recap the learning. After the session, students reflect on their growth, summarize what they have learned, and apply these solutions and skills back to their academic coursework.
